Claim dividends proportional to the underlying stock

ID: claim-dividends-proportional-to-the-underlying-stock

In the Black-Scholes model, suppose a stock pays continuous dividend yield , a claim pays cash flow , and its terminal financial payoff is . If the discounted cash-flow integral is finite, its risk-neutral pricing value is the displayed expression. To derive it, substitute into the Black-Scholes equation with claim dividends, including stock drift . This gives , , which an integrating factor solves. The interest rate cancels because all payments are proportional to the same stock.
